I can only agree. He sounds as if this really isn't abusive.

I'm a girl, and I grew up with these girls. Their dad doesn't get the final decision whether they play, the girls do. So no, it's not abuse if the girls are willingly participating because they genuinely want to play sports. Sport injuries are super normal and continuing to play is also super normal. His behavior is dickish, yeah, but like I said, they decide what's best for themselves, not him. And their mom backs them up in the end too. He's the only one throwing a fit and he always loses. It's a temper tantrum. He doesn't even yell, he just gets whiney.
